Some kinds of art are even very inexpensive and easy to make. Here are 10 creative DIY ideas you can do at home with things you already have or that cost very little money:
1) Sticky face paint – You probably have a lot of sticky notes lying around your desk at work. Why not use them to create face paint? Just write on them with a pencil, cut them up into small pieces, and use the sticky side to paint.

3) Crayon bracelets – All you need to make a crayon bracelet is some crayons (or colored pencils), ribbon or string, and scissors. Wrap the crayons or colored pencils in the ribbon or string by winding it around

1. Color-coordinated clothing.
Coloring your clothes is a fun way to express your personality and style without spending a lot of money. Using permanent markers, you can color just about any item of clothing and still wash it as usual. Color your t-shirts, sweaters, socks and underwear—even shoes and handbags.
How to do it:
1) Choose 2 colors (or more) and set out the colors in order on your work surface.
2) Wear rubber or latex gloves to protect your hands from the marker dye.
3) Select a garment that can be fully submerged in water (this will prevent skin staining).
4) Start with the inside of the garment as this part is hard to reach once the garment is on. Use small circular strokes to color the fabric evenly.
6) Iron over the colored area when it’s dry to set the dye and make sure there are no wrinkles or creases. Any wrinkles will show through the marker color, so you should iron before you add any marker layers if possible.
7) Repeat the steps until you get your desired effect
8) Add extra details such as eyelet lace by drawing over them with white colored pencils or crayons after applying marker
